Clarksburg holds the top corner of the state, where Route 8 keeps climbing until Vermont takes over and the hills hang onto their snow weeks after the valley has given it up. County Line Landscaping LLC works these upland driveways all winter, plowing and clearing walks so a truck can back out onto the road without a second thought. Storms come over the ridge with Greylock standing off to the south, and the shift starts when the blade drops and the porch light is still the brightest thing on the street. Come summer the same ground softens into lawn, and mowing, edging, and trimming leave clean lines against stone walls and gravel shoulders. Spring and fall cleanups bookend it — sand and broken sticks out in April, leaves out in November. It is small-town ground, and it looks it when the work is done right.
